Our record label have picked out a track from the new album entitled
'Revolution' as the radio track - it is not commercially available at this time!

DIMEBAG

We are all still reeling with shock from the terrible tragedy of Dimebag's death. We send his family our sincerest condolences and our thoughts are with them at this terrible time - he was a friend of the band and we will miss him.

18th Dec 2004

I have just got back from an incredibly busy few days in New York with Rob, Glenn and K.K. doing some major press, TV and radio interviews for the new album -
Angel Of Retribution - we played five tracks to the media who all seemed to love them!!

We had a great time talking to everyone and was really knocked out by their reaction to the tracks!! We've got another big media day next week and then the guys will be taking a break over the Christmas/New Year holidays - we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Metal 2005!!

To make sure that we can get everything in place for the release of the new
record i.e. marketing plans, interviews, video etc., etc., we have agreed with
the record label to release the new Judas Priest record on 31st January 2005
(for UK & Europe) and 1st February 2005 (for the USA) - we are working on the
world tour now and will announce the dates as soon as we finalise them!!

3rd Sept 2004

Due to Hurricane Frances fast approaching Florida, (as you can see from the
press release below), the last Ozzfest Show in West Palm Beach has been
cancelled. We are very sorry about this but obviously there is nothing we can do -
the weather is not under our control!!! We want to thank everyone who came to
the shows and gave the Band such a great reception - we've had a fantastic
time and we look forward to seeing you next year!! Dates to be announced as soon
as they are confirmed.

JUDAS PRIEST TO RELEASE NEW STUDIO ALBUM
ON DECEMBER 28, 2004, ON EPIC RECORDS

BONUS CONCERT DVD FILMED IN SPAIN IN JUNE 2004
INCLUDED IN INITIAL SHIPMENT

The long wait for new music from the definitive Judas Priest lineup of
vocalist Rob Halford, lead guitarist Glenn Tipton, lead guitarist K.K. Downing, bass
guitarist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis is nearly over.

Judas Priest will release a new studio album on December 28, 2004, worldwide
on Sony Music (Sony's Epic Records label in North America). The album title
and track listing is forthcoming.

As a special bonus, a live concert DVD filmed during shows in Barcelona and
Valencia in Spain in June 2004 will be included in the initial shipment.

The new album is the first from the Halford/Tipton/Downing/Hill/Travis lineup
since 1990's acclaimed 'Painkiller.'

Tipton recently described the new album as "classic Priest" to 'Entertainment
Tonight': "Even though we've evolved, it is recognizable Priest. The formula
between myself, K.K. and Rob has been tried and tested. It was fantastic to
all get back in the same room."

Judas Priest has celebrated its reunion with triumphant concerts in summer
2004. The band first conquered Europe and is now in the middle of the Ozzfest
tour, for which rave reviews for its performances are the norm. Select
non-Ozzfest dates are included on this North American rampage.

The most recent release from Judas Priest is the critically acclaimed,
best-selling box set career retrospective 'Metalogy' on Sony Music/Legacy Recordings.

The full power of Judas Priest will be on display when the band embarks on a
headlining world tour in early 2005 immediately following the release of the
new album.

Quite a few of you have been asking whether Judas Priest will be doing any
shows after they finish on the Ozzfest on 4th September, 2004. Please note we
won't be doing anymore shows this year - the guys will be finishing off the
album so we can deliver it in time for 28th December, 2004 release! We are
working on a World Tour starting early in 2005 (this will include the U.K.!!) and
will announce the dates as soon as we finalise them.

I've just got back from another few days out on the road with the Band - Judas Priest took Texas by storm!! It was great to be back! The Band's manager
Bill Curbishley flew in to join us for the San Antonio show - we all had a
great time! Afterwards, the Band, Bill and myself went out for dinner - it was
really good to have the Management team and the Band all together - we had a lot
of fun!!

Despite some people being misled by inference that Judas Priest are being
managed by Sanctuary Management - this is definitely not the case! Sanctuary
have absolutely nothing at all to do with the Band in any way - the Band's
Manager is still Bill Curbishley and everything relating to Judas Priest should be
directed to Bill Curbishley and Jayne Andrews - nothing has changed!!
Any enquiries regarding Judas Priest should be directed to Trinifold
Management in London - tel: + 44 207 419 4300/ fax: +44 207 419 4325 or via email to

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! My mistake!!! - I had just flown back from the US with
photos from the Holmdel show and the one of Rob was in amongst them - I was
pretty jet-lagged when I scanned them in and sent them to my webmaster I wasn't
really looking too closely!! Thank you for pointing it out to me - actually it
was just a test to see how observant you all are!!!!!

21st July 2004

The Ozzfest shows have been absolutely fantastic - the reaction to Judas
Priest has blown us all away!! I've just got back from a few days in the U.S.
with the guys - we had a great time - very, very busy what with specials on MTV,
VH1, Eddie Trunk, etc and lots of press and radio interviews including the UK
magazine Kerrang! - Oh! of course - and some incredible shows!!!!

The Band and I had meetings with our new label Epic (Sony) when we were in
New York - their support and enthusiasm was great - we really look forward to
working with them all - We have now confirmed a release date for the new album
- it will be released on 28th December, 2004!!!
A World Tour will be following starting early in 2005. More news as we
finalise it!!

I've just got back from being out with the Band for a few shows - we did two
fantastic shows in Spain - those Spanish fans certainly know how to show much
they love Judas Priest!! They were really great!! The Band did the last show
of this European leg at the Graspop festival in Belgium and now they are all
taking a short break before they start back out in the US.
A big thank you to all of Judas Priest's European fans for welcoming them
back so warmly and ecstatically!!

Unfortunately due to circumstances totally beyond Judas Priest's control
(technical problems with the venue) the show on Wednesday 23rd June, 2004 in
Grenoble has had to be cancelled - sorry to everyone who had bought tickets -
hopefully we'll be able to reschedule this show at some time in the future.

16th June 2004

The Band have just done the most amazing show in Prague - the fans went
absolutely crazy!! Here are some shots from the show!!

Judas Priest are taking Europe by storm!! The reaction to the Band has been
absolutely amazing - the fans have been going wild - the Band playing better
than ever!! Yet again in Holland on Saturday bad weather nearly stopped the
show but the Band and crew fought against all of the elements and went on stage
to perform yet another spectacular performance!

Hi everyone - I've just got back from spending the first few days on the road
with the Band in Europe! The shows have been phenominal!! The Priest are
well and truly back!!
The 'Gods of Metal' festival in Italy caused some chaos!! After a day of
brilliant sunshine there was suddenly the most horrendous storm - the sky turned
black and the heavens opened - the roof was ripped off the outdoor stage -
absolutely soaking through all of the Band's equipment - we thought we were going
to have to cancel but when the rain finally stopped the Band asked their crew
to do everything they could so they could go on stage that night and not
disappoint all of the fans!! The crew worked a small miracle and the Band went
onstage - that show was one of the best so far - the audience went wild - they
were more than rewarded for waiting so long in the pouring rain!! I'll be
showing you all some photos very soon!

Well it has finally happened!! The band had their first rehearsal yesterday
(Monday 24th May) with the reunited line-up and it was fantastic!!! I was

We are manically getting everything ready for the Tour - working on the new
album and millions of other things!!
Needless to say the time is just flying by - it won't be long before Judas
Priest step back out on those stages and blow everyone away!! The Priest will

The long-awaited reunion of Judas Priest will thrill fans around the globe, and once again provide them with the opportunity to see and hear the band that defined Heavy Metal as we know it today.

The band will be embarking on a World tour in June 2004 starting in Europe then on to the Ozzfest in the USA with further shows planned in South America, Japan, UK and all corners of the planet!

This years reunion tour and album will also celebrate the bands 30th anniversary.

20th April 2004

Here are a couple of polaroid's of four members of Judas
Priest!!

- These were taken during a photo session we did with Glenn, Rob and
K.K. last Friday with Ross Halfin for the US magazine Guitar World - as we were
having a meeting afterwards we did a few shots with Ian as well!!

Hi - Jayne here again! I haven't had a chance to post any messages on the board recently as I've
been up to my eyes what with sorting out the new record deal, arranging the world tour, working on
the boxset, sorting out studios, stage sets, stage clothes etc., etc., etc!! I had a flying visit
(literally!) to LA with Rob, Glenn and K.K. to participate in the Ozzfest press conference with
Ozzy and Sharon - that was great fun! Things are pretty hectic this end to say the least!!

The band are working with the producer ROY Z on the new record and things are going really really
well! Scott flew over to the UK last week and is now working on his drum tracks - Glenn and K.K.
have been very busy with their guitar parts - Rob will be flying back to the UK very soon to start
on his vocals and of course Ian will be laying down his great solid bass lines imminently!

We know you are all impatient but you have to trust the guys and know they will come up with a great record - they like to keep their heads down and get on with it!!

Judas Priest are very pleased to announce that they will be joining Ozzy Osbourne for the US Ozzfest 2004 which starts on 10th July and goes through until the beginning of September. This will of course be the first reunion dates that the band will be playing in America with the original line up of Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing, Ian Hill and of course Scott Travis!

Until now we had not been able to confirm that we were doing the Ozzfest as we had been asked by Ozzy & Co. to keep it quiet until after the official press conference – so naturally we respected that!!

We are really looking forward to getting out on the road again and playing at these shows!!

It has come to our attention that yet again someone is trying to sell non
official Judas Priest product and making out it is official. Someone who calls
themself Zoom439 is trying to sell on Ebay an album entitled 'The Complete
Remastered Bonus Tracks' - this is not a certified release and will probably only
be a burned CDR of copyrighted material - it is illegal!! We have taken
action and have Sony's legal people onto this so please do not waste your money on
this inferior product. We see all the time so called 'original' autographed
items of the band for sale and most of the time these are not genuine. Be careful!!

Judas Priest has reigned supreme for 30 years as the most influential and commercially successful pure heavy metal band, and the masters are being honored with the career-spanning, four-CD, 65-track box set 'Metalogy' scheduled for release on May 3rd for Europe and the UK and May 4th 2004 for the US and Canada, by Sony Music/Legacy Records. The worldwide reverence for Judas Priest has resulted in sales of 20 million albums and countless sold-out concerts.

'Metalogy,' the first-ever Judas Priest box set, was assembled with the full participation of the band and it covers music recorded worldwide for the Gull, Sony Music/Columbia, CMC International, SPV, Atlantic and JVC labels between 1974 and 2002. Remastered hits, fan favorites, live rarities, B-sides and a previously unreleased demo are included. And as a bonus, the initial pressing of 'Metalogy' will include a live DVD of a complete concert filmed on December 12, 1982, at Mid South in Memphis, TN, on the 'Screaming for Vengeance' tour. This show was released on home video as 'Judas Priest Live' but it has been out of print for many years, and fans have often requested that it be reissued. This new DVD is mastered in pristine 5.1 Surround Sound for the ultimate Priest live concert experience.

Fans will be thrilled with the packaging of 'Metalogy.' The 7"x7" box is appropriately wrapped in leather and metal studs. The 7"x7" full color book features a full discography, biographical essay, timeline and numerous previously unpublished photos.

'Metalogy' compiles the phenomenal musical achievements of Judas Priest's first three decades, and the next phase of the band's career begins later this year with the release of a highly anticipated new studio album and world tour from recently reunited vocalist Rob Halford, lead guitarist Glenn Tipton, lead guitarist K.K. Downing, bass guitarist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis.
